OK. I'll bite. what we need to do is to put out the entire SAR contract to tender. The Coastguard helicopters at Lee and in Scotland do a fine job AND for half the cost the Armed Forces do. The only thing that the Armed Forces do that the civilians cannot do is despatch SAR Divers (even the Crabs can't do that) So, lets bin the entire thing. Hand it all over to Bristows. Decommish the SK fleet and use the money saved to buy some weapons (and maybe some decent clothing).
